Ghosts on photos?
Strange figures and objects sometimes mysteriously
appear in films or in snapshots. Sceptics explain
them away by saying they are tricks of light, double
or long exposures, reflections or digital trickery.
However, a few of the unexpected additions to
photos and films defy easy explanation. Cameras
filming streets for the Web recently captured what
appeared to be a woman, dressed in Victorian
clothes, moving across the square. An eccentric
person, you may say, the world is full of them. It
happened in Cardiff’s Tiger Bay, now redeveloped
into a fashionable area with a theatre, clubs,
exhibition halls, waterside restaurants and expensive
apartments, but once a slum area notorious for
murders, violence and unsolved mysteries. The area
is also part of the setting for the Torchwood series, a
spin-off of Dr Who, and it may have been an extra
still wearing the clothes used in filming. The only
unexplainable thing was that only three-quarters of
the lady was visible and she seemed to float above
the pavement before vanishing into thin air.
Ghostly images are not confined to the historical; a
misty shape captured on film in New Jersey seems to
be an ‘ET’ kind of image, with an oblong-shaped
head, long neck and fat body, standing next to a thin
bluish-white beam of light. Other photos taken in
different parts of the world at varying times are of
strange lights or objects flying overhead in formation.
Planes, reflections, air balloons, digital tricks or
UFOs?
However, most of the strange images are historical in
nature. Two photos snapped by people visiting
Tantallon Castle, a ruined 14th-century fortress on
the east coast of Scotland, both seem to contain
ghostly figures which had not been seen by the
people taking the pictures. The first, taken over thirty
years ago, shows a typical family group and, behind
them, what looks like a female figure in a dress of the
Tudor period looking out of a half-ruined window.
One sceptic said, ‘When the picture is enlarged, it is
quite obvious it is a woman in a pink jacket coming
down the stairs with a shopping bag.’ The second
picture is more mystifying. It was taken at the samelocation as the first in May last year and shows a man
or a woman in 15th-century clothes staring out of a
window at the photographer. No costumed
mannequins or guides were at the castle at the time
and experts have ruled out the possibility of digital
alterations.
These two photos were among the many ‘ghost’
pictures a panel of experts discussed as part of a
project for the Edinburgh International Science
Festival. Professor Wiseman, who led the group, had
previously set up a Web competition for the ‘best
ghost image’. Over two hundred and fifty photos
were sent from all over the world and more than a
quarter of a million people voted for what they
considered the most convincing picture. Professor
Wiseman said that although he was a sceptic about
ghosts, he was puzzled by the second Tantallon
photo, which won the competition by getting 39% of
the votes.
He said, ‘I suppose it could be a visitor looking a little

down the stairs with a shopping bag.’ The second
picture is more mystifying. It was taken at the same
location as the first in May last year and shows a man
or a woman in 15th-century clothes staring out of a
window at the photographer. No costumed
mannequins or guides were at the castle at the time
and experts have ruled out the possibility of digital
alterations.
These two photos were among the many ‘ghost’
pictures a panel of experts discussed as part of a
project for the Edinburgh International Science
Festival. Professor Wiseman, who led the group, had
previously set up a Web competition for the ‘best
ghost image’. Over two hundred and fifty photos
were sent from all over the world and more than a
quarter of a million people voted for what they
considered the most convincing picture. Professor
Wiseman said that although he was a sceptic about
ghosts, he was puzzled by the second Tantallon
photo, which won the competition by getting 39% of
the votes.
He said, ‘I suppose it could be a visitor looking a little
strange. Perhaps someone will come forward.
Another possibility is an odd reflection of light, but it
does look very much like a person. The explanation is
not obvious.’

36. Ghosts on photos?
Strange figures and objects sometimes mysteriously
appear in films or in snapshots. Sceptics explain
them away by saying they are tricks of light, double
or long exposures, reflections or digital trickery.
However, a few of the unexpected additions to
photos and films defy easy explanation. Cameras
filming streets for the Web recently captured what
appeared to be a woman, dressed in Victorian
clothes, moving across the square. An eccentric
person, you may say, the world is full of them. It
happened in Cardiff’s Tiger Bay, now redeveloped
into a fashionable area with a theatre, clubs,
exhibition halls, waterside restaurants and expensive
apartments, but once a slum area notorious for
murders, violence and unsolved mysteries. The area
is also part of the setting for the Torchwood series, a
spin-off of Dr Who, and it may have been an extra
still wearing the clothes used in filming. The only
unexplainable thing was that only three-quarters of
the lady was visible and she seemed to float above
the pavement before vanishing into thin air.
Ghostly images are not confined to the historical; a
misty shape captured on film in New Jersey seems to
be an ‘ET’ kind of image, with an oblong-shaped
head, long neck and fat body, standing next to a thin
bluish-white beam of light. Other photos taken in
different parts of the world at varying times are of
strange lights or objects flying overhead in formation.
Planes, reflections, air balloons, digital tricks or
UFOs?
However, most of the strange images are historical in
nature. Two photos snapped by peoplevisiting
Tantallon Castle, a ruined 14th-century fortress on
the east coast of Scotland, both seem to contain
ghostly figures which had not been seen by the
people taking the pictures. The first, taken over thirty
years ago, shows a typical family group and, behind
them, what looks like a female figure in a dress of the
Tudor period looking out of a half-ruined window.
One sceptic said, ‘When the picture is enlarged, it is
quite obvious it is a woman in a pink jacket coming
down the stairs with a shopping bag.’ The second
picture is more mystifying. It was taken at the same
location as the first in May last year and shows a man
or a woman in 15th-century clothes staring out of a
window at the photographer. No costumed
mannequins or guides were at the castle at the time
